This was before I joined so I am not 100% sure. However, the answer I got was that some yahoos shot a Thompson Contender with a 30-06 cartridge in the indoors range. They have steel plating and not armor plating and it penetrated so they want to make sure all pistols are using lead ammunition so as not to penetrate the steel plate. No rifles larger than 22 cal and no copper is the rule for indoor range. At the 25, 50 and 100 yard outdoor range, fire whatever you want. Pistol range aka indoor range, the bullet CANNOT have copper.
